all the lil guys pay homage to Zeke and admit they patterned their games after him. from his contemporaries like tim hardaway, stockton, and KJ to the generation that followed with Damon, AI, Nash to the current king CP3...and now the young prince....

B/R: Who�s in your all-time starting five?

KI: Michael Jordan, Big O, Wilt Chamberlain, Isiah Thomas and Bill Russell.

B/R: You know, you�re one of the first guys to put Isiah Thomas in there. Is that a guy you�ve modeled any of your game after?

KI: Yeah, and like I said, we all have our biases and our favorite guys of all time. That�s how it all goes. We could argue Magic or other point guards, but Isiah, for me, is in my starting five.

I agree. Zeke was that Dude! Not surprised to hear "Rie say this, he very much seems like a student of the game. I wonder where he rates his Godfather on his PG list lol.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

On the Lebertard & Papi show

Didn't know that he had Isiah on stage when he got inducted
into the Hall of Fame

Said that Isiah completely changed how he looked at basketball,
was better than anything he'd ever seen (played against him
in high school)

Wow

Stock was embarrassed to be on the Dream Team, too...which is why he don't bring it up very much, unlike the rest of those phonies. in his heart, he knows.

Stockton is the one who's spot was most deserving to Zeke, other than Laettner.

The rest of them hadn't won shit

Zeke had beaten all of them near or at their primes

I'm not a championship fundamentalist, but Zeke's success
is difficult to deny

i was more saying that if there was one person who shouldn't have been on it over him, it was stockton.

zeke def should have been on it, but doesn't nullify that squad's realness.

it's also too bad hakeem didnt have things in order to compete for the u.s., should have been there over ewing.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

You can make an argument for either ebing the better player that season. People forget how close Ewing and Olajuwan were for most of their careers.

player? Cuz you can argue that Ewing had a better season, but he wasn't the better player.

said that after the game he just sat in his hotel room alone for a couple hours thinking about it, that he couldn't believe that somebody could be that good. at 4:25 below:

That's not no generic "_____ was great, I'm a fan"

That's something else

Newfound respect for Isiah, obviously, but even more for
Stockton...how humble and respectful can you possibly be?

yeah I begrudgingly respected Stockton when he was playing but I've actually started admiring him since his HOF induction, seems like a real genuine guy.

nobody from the city will disagree with this.

wade has too many bitchmade tendencies to be claimed as the goat, imo. zeke epitomized the blue collar work ethic. he carried that angry chicago disposition with him throughout his career (rose also has this disposition).

wade cries and plays for a city where people wear white pants on the daily.

like i dont know that gary payton was such a huge zeke admirer, but he was a huge stockton admirer and stockton definitely took a lot from zeke.

jason kidd i dont know either way, you probably have an anecdote ready tho

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

also Michael Jordan might not admit however Zeke inspired him as well.

Zeke had that reckless and go for the throat mind set. I know Iverson got something off of him.

Zeke was one of my favorites back in the day and I have him in my 11-25 Greatest ever ranking

No doubt, those Piston teams helped mold Mike AND Scottie into the players they became
